Michigan State sophomore defensive tackle Lawrence Thomas is working out in pads and getting closer to playing, defensive line coach Ron Burton said today.

"Well, he looks fresh, that's for sure," Burton said of Thomas, who started practicing last week and has yet to see the field this season because of an unspecified injury. "And looks stealth. But he's got to get back in gamesmanship mode, using his hands at the point of attack. And that's gonna take a couple weeks. But it's good to have him out there. What shows right away is his quickness and his agility."
